Perfect Secret Love novel Chapter 2240

Ye Wanwan intently stared at Nameless Nie. After a long silence, she finally spoke. "In truth, Ji Xiuran's hypnotism on you lost its effect a long time ago, right?"

Nameless Nie nodded. "Although the hypnotism was impressive, it didn't last too long in reality. It only lasted half a year."

"So when you came to find me in China, you weren't hypnotized anymore," Ye Wanwan proposed pensively.

Nameless Nie smiled. "That's right. But when I first met you in China, I merely thought you looked like Worriless and really didn't recognize you."

"Then... just what did you come to China to find?" Ye Wanwan asked.

"I just wanted to find you; there weren't that many reasons. And also to find the ring, of course," Nameless Nie replied truthfully.

Ye Wanwan didn't rebut him. The ring Nameless Nie was wearing might've been crafted by him and was completely unrelated to the Rose of Death. It held enormous meaning to Nameless Nie.

This ring represented his relationship with Ling Miao.

Ye Wanwan believed that Nameless Nie absolutely wouldn't agree if she tried to use her ring to trade for his ring.

"Then... why did you make the Direct Line steal the other ring?" Ye Wanwan asked him.

"Very simple." Nameless Nie smiled faintly. "If I possessed that ring... I would be able to mobilize a lot of power and destroying the Independent State would be a piece of cake."

"But why did you give up in the end?" Ye Wanwan launched another question.

Nameless Nie sank into contemplation.

"What else could I do?" A while later, Nameless Nie shook his head. "You would rather die than hand it over. Should I have really killed you for that ring?"

The truth of the matter was now clear at a glance.

The Direct Line also participated in Ling Miao's encirclement back then.

The reason Nameless Nie was willing to help the Direct Line was so that he could trigger the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch as soon as possible.

Nameless Nie was well aware that once the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch began, all the factions in the Independent State wouldn't be able to stay out of it and all had to participate.

As for Nameless Nie's true objective, it was to make the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch eradicate each other and perish together, including all the factions who supported the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch.

As she thought up to this point, a layer of sweat blanketed Ye Wanwan's forehead.
